1. Detecting Spatially Variable Corn Nitrogen Needs Using Green Reflectance from 35MM PhotographsRising fertilizer costs and environmental concerns are reasons producers are looking to decrease nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates. This study investigated the use of relative green reflectance fiom 35 rnrn aerial photographs to detect spatially variable corn [Zea mays L.] N needs for developing variable rate fertilizer maps. Photographs were taken at three different growth stages (V7, V11, R3) at altitudes from 3,000 to 5,500 fi for two Missouri fields representing alluvial and deep loess soil types.... |
2. Nebraska's Natural Resources Districts: Experiences in Managing Nitrate in Ground WaterNebraska's 23 Natural Resources Districts (NRDs or Districts) were formed in 1972, and are quasi-local entities which are charged with various responsibilities in managing the State's soil and water resources. The Districts are governed by locally-elected Boards of Directors, managed by professional staff, and have independent taxing authority. They have broad responsibilities in ground water quantity and quality management, and one of the major efforts NRDs have engaged in over the past several... |
